This is also a great source of blessings for that person. When a person sits at a mosque and listens to Imam quietly, this also offers great significance and reward. Furthermore, if he sits away where he cannot listen and does not interrupt, he will receive reward only once. On the other hand, if he sits at a place where he cannot listen to the Sermon and looks at the imam, he will certainly get burden of reward.
